Well, this is after today's wash, I was curious about DIY details interior ceramic so I'm giving it a shot. Coated the interior I'll see how it holds up. For interiors I usually use Gyeon products... With today's weather I was tempted to put on my 21" wheels that I purchased as those 19's look kinda small lol. But with the weather turning sooner rather than later I'll wait till spring for those.

Thanks for the photos, the car looks great! I really like the contrast between the dark exterior and the light interior. I think you made the right choice on those wheels - it's going to get cold very fast!

Looks great! Love the interior, especially seeing it in real photos, rather than via configurations/simulations. Really glad I went with Smoke White. I'm planning on using Gyeon as well. Seems to be the best product, I've found in reviews, so good to hear that works well.

Glad the ordeal is finally over for you, and you can shift your forum focus to actually USING the car now.

Thank you! The interior looks awesome! Driving at night is another level with the ambient lighting. I know a lot of people complained about the the finish of the interior compared to the G30 and I agree, but think this is a great place to unwine after a long day at work!

I was just driving on the Autobahn and suddenly got notification about integrated brake possible failure.
I have checked my VIN and car is eligible for technical service.
Car was produced in April 2024 and it happened today at 12.000km mileage.
It is 520xd.

Just wanted to note that my 5-month 5-series build ordeal is now over. Placed order on May 31. Vehicle produced on July 6 and landed at Baltimore VDC on August 22. Subject to both the IBS and Steering Spindle Stop Sales. Picked it up on November 2. $1,000 concession from BMW USA. Sales guy asked me for a 9 or 10 in the upcoming post-delivery survey.

Well, I can’t really fault the sales guy at the dealership when it comes time for me to do that, but if there’s a separate survey for the corporation, I would nuke them with sufficient force to turn glass to molten liquid.

Congratulations! I'm looking forward to pictures when you get a chance. There is a whole thread dedicated to pictures!
